RCBS Shell Holder #49 - Precision Reloading Press Component

The RCBS Shell Holder #49 secures cartridge cases during the reloading process with precision-machined steel construction. This specific shell holder accommodates select cartridge dimensions, ensuring proper case alignment and reliable feeding through RCBS single-stage and progressive reloading presses.

What Makes This Different

RCBS shell holders feature hardened steel construction with precise internal dimensions that match specific cartridge case head diameters. The #49 designation corresponds to particular cartridge families, eliminating the guesswork common with universal holders. Each shell holder undergoes quality control testing to ensure consistent case grip and smooth operation across thousands of reloading cycles.

Key Features

• Hardened steel construction resists wear and deformation
• Precision-machined internal dimensions for specific cartridge compatibility
• Standard RCBS threading fits all RCBS press models
• Numbered identification system prevents mixing shell holders
• Smooth internal finish reduces case extraction force
• Heat-treated surface maintains dimensional stability
• Compatible with RCBS Rock Chucker, Partner, and Rebel presses

Reloaders depend on consistent case positioning for accurate powder charges and bullet seating. The #49 shell holder maintains proper case alignment throughout the reloading sequence, from decapping through final crimping. Competition shooters particularly value the repeatable case positioning that contributes to ammunition consistency. The hardened steel construction withstands the forces generated during full-length case resizing operations.
